Turkey’s Erdogan says meeting of Muslim countries with Trump was very fruitful

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said a meeting on Gaza between US President Donald Trump and leaders of Muslim countries on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly on Wednesday was “very fruitful.”

NATO member Turkey has harshly criticized Israel’s attacks on Gaza and said they amount to genocide. It has halted all trade with Israel, urged international measures against it, and called for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.

Speaking to reporters in New York after the meeting, Erdogan said a joint declaration from the meeting would be published and that he was “pleased” with the outcomes of the meeting, but did not elaborate.
